  4. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove it from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.

  7. Pour the lemon raspberry filling evenly over the graham cracker crust in the baking dish.
  8. Bake for 15 minutes or until the filling is set.
  9. Cool the dish to room temperature. After that, chill it in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving.
